Has life thrown you for a loop lately? Are you having a hard time navigating big changes? Whether you view your situation as positive or negative, transitions like divorce, career change/retirement, moving, and the loss of a loved one are not easy to move through. The great news is we have tools available to help process these changes with the intention of not just getting through them, but of improving ourselves as we journey along and even flourish once we get to the other side.
Join Amanda and her guest and friend Diane Schroeder, host of The Fire Insider Her podcast, writer, and retired fire chief for a deep dive into life's challenges and how to move through them with faith, courage, and authenticity. Learn practical solutions that work for both Diane and Amanda and understand how to implement them in a way that encourages emotional and spiritual evolution.
Other topics they explore include:
- How to invoke both the pragmatic divine masculine and compassionate divine feminine energy that is present in every human to move through transitions with both grit and grace
- How balancing DM and DF energy is our true identity AND the pathway to a peaceful society
- Learning to utilize each of these energies to be the best leader possible
- Common trauma responses and how to manage them
- The benefit of focusing on faith over fear—how faith creates opportunities while fear blocks them
- Honoring the good traits our ancestors passed down to us (it's not all trauma!)
- Diane's favorite phrase "This too shall pass," and how to embrace this sentiment while finding your way through hard times
